  Yes, the cash app does automatically report cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS. As a financial institution, the cash app is required to comply with tax regulations and report certain transactions to the IRS. This includes cryptocurrency transactions, which are subject to taxation. So, if you use the cash app for buying or selling cryptocurrencies, you can expect that the IRS will be aware of those transactions.

  No, the cash app does not automatically report cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS. The responsibility of reporting cryptocurrency transactions to the IRS lies with the individual users. However, it's important to note that the IRS has been cracking down on cryptocurrency tax evasion, so it's advisable to accurately report your transactions to avoid any legal issues.

  While I can't speak for the cash app specifically, it's worth mentioning that some cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms do have systems in place to automatically report transactions to the IRS. These platforms are required to comply with tax regulations and help ensure that users are accurately reporting their cryptocurrency activities. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or refer to the IRS guidelines to understand your reporting obligations.
